Barristers at Radcliffe Chambers are frequently instructed in a range of complex pensions disputes, such as professional negligence claims, regulatory proceedings and claims involving defects in scheme documentation. Keith Rowley KC is well-regarded for his experience in high profile cases, while Elizabeth Ovey is acting in R. (The Guinness Partnership Ltd) v Cheshire West and Chester Council, which concerns the pension’s surplus and raises questions of the construction of regulation 64. Henry Day and Wendy Mathers were instructed in Nationwide Pension Fund Trustee Ltd v Amos, a part 8 claim for a Beddoe order allowing the trustee to pursue an appeal against HMRC’s decision regarding the recoverability by the trustee of input VAT amounting to £4m worth of costs incurred in relation to the fund’s administration.

Henry Day
Henry has a fantastic breadth of knowledge on all things pensions and financial regulation, and his input into pleadings is constructive and insightful. Henry drafts pleadings in such a way that clearly sets up his future advocacy, and it is plain to see how everything is thought through and interlinked. Henry is also very responsive and has been able to turn things around in a short period of time despite being very busy.
Elizabeth Ovey
Elizabeth is delightful to work with and very diligent. She is very experienced across a variety of areas and a real asset on any case.
